post intristat, racit si inrait, siberian chiar :D

Ring any bells? :D 

‘ To be sure, reports of how hundreds of passers-by show complete indiference to someon lying sick on the sidewalk are nthing new. I have noticed an increase in rage and hostility people exhibit toward those around them and the absence of a basic willingness to help each other.

Moreover, society as a whole seems to have become totally apathetic to politics and the condition of the country. It is indeed a rare occasion when an event stirs people into taking some kind of stance or action.

Society is lacking a basic moral foundation- an understanding of what is good and bad.’

 As fi putut baga mana in foc ca e Bucurestiul- poate sunt prea pesimista ?

Citatul e luat dintr-un articol de Georgy Bovt, publicat in Moscow Times. Pentru ca da, despre Moscova e vorba.  

Comunismul,  tranzitia-  au reusit in final sa atinga idealul nivelarii claselor- o nivelare morala, fara granita. Oamei inraiti, suspiciosi, cu reguli anapoda si care si-au predat destinul altora, prinsi intr-un dezgust obosit de tot ce e politic/a.

Poate ca la Bucuresti lucrurile sunt diferite, poate ca nu e chiar asa dramatic. As vrea sa cred. Dar nu pot sa nu observ ca aceeasi apatie politica despre care se vorbeste in articol, indiferenta fata de oameni si dorinta de a razbi cu pretul fericirii celorlalti- sunt prezente cu varf si indesat.

Si ca sa inchei in aceeasi nota pesimista, in ajun de ‘alegeri’ in Rusia, un alt citat, to Moscow Times, editia din 14 Feb (sau cum se vede Valentine’s day din perspectiva ruseasca :D)

‘There is no new Cold War (…). But there is a cold peace.”

Martin Wolf, Financial Times:  :d
